Dickerson Park Zoo welcomes new Malayan tiger
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — A nine-year-old Malayan tiger arrived at the Dickerson Park Zoo on March 19.
Cinta was born in California in 2015 and was moved to the Dickerson Park Zoo based on the recommendations of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Malayan Tiger Species Survival Plan. The species is considered critically endangered with only 100-250 tigers remaining in the wild.
Cinta is still acclimating to his new surroundings and is not on exhibit to the public. He will be introduced slowly to DPZ's female tiger, Berisi. Together, Cinta and Berisi will have the opportunity to play a role in the continuation of their species.
